Below is the answer to a great question. I thought you might enjoy reading and learning a little more about TGM Alignments.

Thank you for reaching out to us at The Golfing Machine.
Here is the question you asked "Comments/Enquiries
Hi! I recently purchased your book and had a question. On page 95 (7-2) it is talking about The Grip and states, “1. The Left Arm and the Clubshaft in-line.” It talks about this to be established at impact fix. I was wondering, is this talking about from the face on view or from the down the line view? Thank you very much."
Not only is this a great question but oddly it is not asked very often and since we have at least two views, Face On and Down The Line, I would think it would be asked more often.
When viewing the golfer from Down the Line almost everyone has a two line view. This means that when viewing yourself from Down the Line you can draw one line from the hosel through the club shaft that will be shallow and another line from your left shoulder to your left hand and it will be stepper than the clubshaft angle. I know that "seeing" the left arm is difficult but you can make an educated guess as to where it is.
Now, when viewing yourself Face On at Impact Fix draw a line from the hosel to the left Shoulder (about where your bicep touches your chest) the clubshaft and Left Arm should me on the same line and in the same plane. This alignment is the clubshaft in line with the left arm and in totality it is the Primary Lever Assembly.
